Product Information
Full details
L'Oréal Professionnel Dialight in 9.11 Deep Ash Milkshake is an acid gel cream tone-on-tone hair colour designed for adults seeking to refresh or enhance their hair colour without lightening. Its primary benefit is delivering exceptional shine and moisture, making it ideal for colored or sensitized hair. A key consideration is that it is a demi-permanent colour and requires a separate developer (Diactivateur) for application.

FAQs
Is L'Oréal Professionnel Dialight 9.11 suitable for virgin hair?
Dialight is best suited for colored or sensitized hair as it deposits tone without lightening. On virgin hair, results will be subtle and may appear more like a glaze or color rinse, as it has no lifting power.
How long does the color last?
As a demi-permanent color, Dialight typically lasts between 6 to 8 washes, depending on hair porosity and care routine. It gradually fades, offering a low-commitment color option.
Can I mix Dialight shades?
Yes, Dialight shades can be mixed with each other to create custom tones. Always use the recommended mixing ratio with Diactivateur.
What is the difference between Dialight and permanent hair color?
Dialight is an ammonia-free, acidic demi-permanent hair color that tones and conditions without lightening. Permanent hair color typically contains ammonia, is alkaline, and lightens the hair while depositing color.
Do I need to perform a strand test?
A strand test is always recommended, especially when using a new product or formulation. This helps to determine the exact timing and final tone on your specific hair type and color.
What volume of Diactivateur should I use?
The choice of Diactivateur volume (6, 9, or 15 vol) depends on the desired result. Lower volumes (6 vol) are for gentle toning and shine, while higher volumes (9 or 15 vol) can provide more deposit and intensity on resistant hair or for slight color deepening.
Troubleshooting
Color not depositing evenly
Ensure the hair was properly prepared (clean and towel-dried, if applicable) and the mixture was applied thoroughly and evenly through all sections. Check the mixing ratio with Diactivateur.
Desired tone not achieved
Verify the base color of the hair before application; Dialight works best on pre-colored or lightened bases. Ensure the correct volume of Diactivateur was used and that processing time was adequate for the desired depth.
Hair feels dry after application
While Dialight is conditioning, ensure you rinse thoroughly and follow up with a rich conditioner or treatment. Check the processing time; prolonged exposure might contribute to dryness if hair is already compromised.
Color fades too quickly
Use color-safe shampoos and conditioners, and avoid washing hair with hot water. Consider a shorter processing time for future applications if rapid fading is observed, as overly long processing can sometimes lead to faster lift.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Preparation: Mix L'Oréal Professionnel Dialight 9.11 Deep Ash Milkshake with L'Oréal Professionnel Diactivateur (available in 6, 9, and 15 volume) in a 1:1.5 ratio (e.g., 50ml of Dialight + 75ml of Diactivateur). Use in a non-metallic bowl and applicator.
- Application: Apply the mixture evenly to dry or towel-dried hair using a brush. Work section by section for uniform coverage.
- Processing: Leave on for 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the desired intensity and hair's condition. For sensitized hair, start with a shorter processing time.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with warm water until the water runs clear. Shampoo gently and apply a post-color conditioner or treatment.
Compatibility:
- This product is designed for use on adult hair.
- It is compatible with previously colored or sensitized hair.
- For best results and optimal tone deposit, it is recommended for use on hair that is already colored or has been lightened.
- Always use with L'Oréal Professionnel Diactivateur developer.
Care:
- To maintain color vibrancy, use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners specifically designed for colored hair.
- Avoid excessive heat styling, or use heat protectant sprays.
